Topic 4 - Active components, Basics
In this section we discuss how non-linearity affects microwave circuit performance, through e.g. gain compression, distortion and intermodulation. Furthermore we study the practical use of basic active components such as diodes in detectors/rectifiers, switches and phase shifters. To prepare for this lesson and homework assignment, study sections 10.2 - 10.3 in the 3rd edition, or sections 10.3-10.4 and 11.1 in the 4th edition of the course book.
